Pros

- Flexible working hours and hybrid work. We can easily manage our time according to our workload. - More than average leave days/year - Many benefits (cafeteria or restaurant voucher, gym, medical coverage, benefits platform to buy tickets with discount, etc.) - E-learning and live sessions (there was the CGG University before, which offered fantastic trainings, but it doesn't exist anymore). - Really positive and relaxed work environment. Super nice and friendly people. - In all offices there are employees from many different nationalities, as the company promotes a lot of internal mobility.

Cons

- It lacks communication is all forms (updates, how the business is doing, regular meetings with all employees are rare and so on) - Top leadership is very absent and disconnected from the ground - Processes are non-existent! Plus no-one feels accountable for anything, which makes progress very slow and inefficient. - CGG was once a big company and most people uses the changes as excuse for how things are now. If you are the one open minded trying to adapt from what you were used, you'll struggle.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are delighted to hear that you have so many great things to say about CGG and our working environment and learning opportunities. For this last one, we would like to highlight that the former CGG University has become CGG Learning Hub, an exclusive platform with an extensive suite of CGG developed courses and learning communities, aimed to support each individual personal growth in areas related to both technical and personal skills. We appreciate your feedback on the areas we still need to improve, and you can be sure it is on our radar or being looked at. Regards your comment about our managers, at CGG we created a range of programs (5 pillars, 360 feedback, Coaching program..) to support our managers to develop their teams. And “Effective Communication” is the very first pillar we work with them on the “5 pillars for managers”, as we acknowledge the importance to convey clear messages and keep the lines of communication open. Thank you once again for your review and hope that your path will cross with ours again in the future. All the best, CGG Team

Pros

Viridien is a great company to work for, with a positive and professional working environment. The company has a strong international footprint, a diverse mix of nationalities and backgrounds, and a good balance of technical depth and business ambition. Colleagues are friendly, collaborative, and highly capable, and the leadership team is generally accessible and open to discussion. The work can be challenging and intellectually interesting, especially for people who enjoy technical, global, and client-facing environments.

Cons

Career progression could be much clearer and more structured. Promotion paths, development plans, and expectations for advancement are not always easy to understand, which creates uncertainty for employees who want to grow within the company. Salaries are also slightly below market average in some areas, and compensation should remain competitive to retain strong talent. Like many global technical companies, priorities can also shift quickly, so clearer communication and consistency would help.
